Also published as The Beautiful Widow, Mary Shelley's penultimate
novel explores the web of relationships between three women, bound
together by the exacting Lord Lodore: his estranged wife Cornelia,
a woman ruled by her mother and the norms of aristocratic society;
his daughter Ethel, raised in the wilderness of Illinois and
utterly dependent on her father; and finally, the independent and
highly educated Fanny Derham, the daughter of Lodore's childhood
friend. At first glance, Lodore appears to be a "silver fork"
novel--a popular romance genre from the Regency era about life in
fashionable society--yet Shelley's take imbues the story with
subversive critiques of domesticity and masculinity. Long
considered the most Jane Austen-like of Mary Shelley's novels,
Lodore is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand this
brilliant feminist writer.

Mary Shelley’s timeless gothic classic accompanied by the art of
legendary illustrator Bernie Wrightson live on in this gorgeous
illustrated adaptation of Frankenstein—featuring an introduction
by Stephen King. Few works by comic book artists have earned the
universal acclaim and reverence that Bernie Wrightson’s
illustrated version of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley’s Frankenstein
was met with upon its original release in 1983, which vividly
presented the timeless, terrifying tale of one man’s obsession to
create life—and the monster that became his legacy. A generation
later, this magnificent pairing of art and literature is still
considered to be one of the greatest achievements made by any
artist in the field. This book includes the complete text of the
original groundbreaking novel and approximately fifty original
full-page illustrations by Bernie Wrightson—created over a period
of seven years—that continue to stun the world with their
monumental beauty and uniqueness. This edition also contains
introductions by #1 New York Times bestselling author Stephen King
and author Mary Shelley, as well as supplemental material including
a history of the novel, a chronology of Mary Shelley’s life and
work, and the historical context of Frankenstein for readers.
